Assignment 2
My dietary topic of choice is The Ketogenic Diet, or commonly known as the Keto Diet. One of the most reliable facts about health is that health is personal and what works well for someone may not work well for someone else. Ketosis is likely one of those dietary strategies that work well for only a group of people. Therefore, there are a lot of controversies undergoing the topic, and that is what it makes it interesting.

Last year for winter break, I attempted the ketosis diet. I wanted to get my body back in shape after a long and stressful semester. Therefore, I started getting my feet wet on the subject, and I found a popular article from November 10th, 2017. It is titled; "What happens to your body when you're in ketosis, and how can you tell if you're in it?" by Abbey Sharp for Greatist Magazine. It is a popular article because it was written for an entertainment publication. Also, it aims to inform a wide array of readers about a growing issue of interest with the usage of an informal tone and scope.

This popular article mentions and hyperlinks two scientific publications to support its arguments. These are scientific publications because experts wrote them for experts; they are based on original research and intellectual inquiry; they provide citations for all sources used, and they were peer-reviewed. The titles of both articles are: "Making and storing fat and retrieving it for energy supply," and "Measuring breath acetone for monitoring fat loss." The former is a chapter from the book "Your Inner Engine," written by Jane M. Vanderkooi PH.D. professor from the University of Pennsylvania. The latter is an article written for the US National Library of Medicine by Joseph C. Anderson, Associate professor of Medicine at Dartmouth.
